Context:
Functional connectivity—the facilitation of individual movements among habitat patches—is essential for species’ persistence in fragmented landscapes. Evaluating functional connectivity is critical for predicting range shifts, developing conservation plans, and anticipating effects of disturbance, especially for species affected by climate change.
Objectives:
We examined whether simplifying forest structure influenced animal...

The Cedar Creek area, consisting of about 30 square miles, is
located on the west flank of the central Madison Range in Madison
County, Montana.
The rocks of the area include carbonates, sandstones, mudstones,
cherts, phosphorite, metamorphic rocks, intrusive igneous
rocks, and unconsolidated sediments and have been divided into 16...

The Devonian Simonson and Guilmette Formations provide examples of
Cordilleran miogeosynclinal inner and middle shelf carbonate deposition
that act in response to changes in eustasy, sedimentation, and
tectonics. The Simonson Dolomite consists of four members that
collectively record three distinct transgressive-regressive cycles.
The Coarse Crystalline dolomudstone lithofacies represents restricted

Empirical algorithms are developed using high-quality GO-SHIP hydrographic measurements of commonly measured parameters (temperature, salinity, pressure, nitrate, and oxygen) that estimate pH in the Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. The coefficients of determination, R² , are 0.98 for pH from nitrate (pH^N) and 0.97 for pH from oxygen (pH^Ox)...

Approximately 23 square miles of the east-central part
of the Tendoy Range are included in the thesis area which
lies three miles west of Dell, Montana.
Rocks ranging in age from Late Mississippian to Recent
are exposed in the study area. The upper Paleozoic section
includes approximately 4,200 feet (1,281...
